Melt Hearts: The Best Ideas for a Fairytale Winter Wedding

Many Russian couples hold their wedding ceremony during the warmer months of the year, which are most suitable for such events. If you don’t want to wait for spring or summer, you can organize a beautiful winter wedding.

There are several reasons why it is worth celebrating an important event in snowy and frosty times:

• fewer couples submit applications to the registry office, so you can choose any date to register your marriage;
• prices for wedding services are reduced, including renting banquet halls, and you can save your budget;
• no sweltering heat;
• Snow-covered parks and forests are a wonderful backdrop for holiday photo shoots.

When organizing a winter wedding, you can buy beautiful outfits for the bride and groom at a reduced cost, sign up for a beauty salon at a convenient time, and hire the best presenters. You don't have to wait your turn to discuss the preparation process with a cook, stylist or other specialists.

When organizing a winter wedding outside the city in nature, you should also consider:

• risks of weather changes: at the wrong time, the snow may melt, and the roads may become covered with mud, and you will not find delightful snow-covered landscapes for a photo shoot;
• short daylight hours, reducing the time it takes to take beautiful pictures;
• the likelihood of increased wind, frost, the possibility of freezing and catching a cold;
• seasonal increase in prices for vegetables and fruits.

That is why it is important to choose warm outfits for newlyweds and think through several options for photo sessions. The increase in food costs pays off through lower costs of renting a banquet hall and other services.

Where to have a themed wedding in winter? Usually a family holiday takes place in a warm, cozy room - in a restaurant or a country mansion located in a picturesque place. If a couple wants to have a celebration outside the city, they should rent a hall in a hotel complex - it is convenient to accommodate guests there.

Peculiarities

Before you decide to exchange rings in winter, you need to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
The objective advantages of a winter wedding are:

• the ability to organize an event in the shortest possible time;
• prices for all services, from restaurant rental to dress rental, are significantly lower than in summer (with the exception of New Year holidays);
• there is no crazy queue to register a marriage at the registry office;
• the presence of beautiful landscapes for a fabulous photo shoot, especially if the photo walk on your wedding day is in a winter forest;
• the opportunity to enjoy unique competitions and winter activities: snowball fights, skating rink;
• a wide selection of decor for the banquet hall, taking into account the theme of the celebration;
• originality and beauty of the bride's outfit using interesting accessories: a fur coat and muff, for example.

On the other side of the scale are the disadvantages of holding a wedding in winter:

• unpredictability of weather, which can ruin plans for a photo shoot;
• the likelihood of getting sick after the event (or before it), if it occurs at the height of a seasonal epidemic;
• the impossibility of a long photo walk through memorable places;
• the risk of getting faded photographs due to the merging of the bride’s white dress with the snow if the photographer is poorly chosen;
• unavailability of some vegetables and fruits.

If you take into account the problems associated with bad weather and look for solutions in advance, it is obvious that there are many more benefits.

Place

A truly fabulous feature of a winter wedding, especially for residents of big cities, will be a rented chic mansion outside the city, decorated in a classic style.

Just imagine: a luxurious front door, huge fireplaces and polished mirrors, an oak staircase, walls with pompous stucco and floors with exquisite parquet... You will feel like a king and queen, and you deserve such a feeling on one of the most important days in your life.

An alternative option that is not inferior in luxury is organizing a wedding in Europe , where prices for renting mansions are slightly higher than in large Russian cities.

If you're not willing to spend too much on one day, even if it's a memorable one, consider renting a nice restaurant with an outdoor area.

Winter wedding styles

The design of the banquet hall and the celebration scenario depend on the chosen winter wedding option - let's look at the most interesting of them.

Rustic wedding in winter

is characterized by simplicity and naturalness. The wedding ceremony can be held among the snowdrifts, and the banquet can be held in pre-prepared tents or a village hut. For decoration, burlap, branches of coniferous trees, cones, and ribbons are used. The predominant shades are brown, beige and green.

Scandinavian style wedding in winter

It is held in coniferous forests, parks, snow-covered meadows or picturesque banks of rivers and lakes. It is best to organize a banquet in a country house or cottage. You can rent a room in a hotel or restaurant, and then decorate it with natural deer antlers, imitation animal skins, armfuls of hay, compositions of branches and dried berries. For outdoor photo shoots, knitted sweaters and scarves with patterns typical of Northern Europe are worn.

Wedding in Russian folk style in winter

. When decorating the room, they “scatter” balalaikas, accordions, tambourines, and painted spoons. The necessary atmosphere is created by:

• a samovar with bagels and bagels polished to a shine;
• loaf, pancakes, pies;
• dishes with red caviar;
• jug with milk;
• haystacks for a photo zone;
• tablecloths with Russian folk patterns.

A holiday outside the city gives pleasant emotions and beautiful photographs against the backdrop of harsh snow-covered landscapes. How to organize an original wedding in winter? Think through every detail of the design, choose warm outfits for the newlyweds and find a creative host who will help make the celebration fun and interesting!

Theme and colors

A winter wedding can be held in one of the following styles:

• rustic : room in a rustic style, classic outfits with a retro twist;
• Russian style : log house in the forest, folk festivals, musicians, drinking tea from a samovar and other original details;
• wedding “Winter's Tale” : based on the scenario of a fairy tale story. For example, Koschey kidnaps a beautiful bride, and a good fellow (groom) must go through serious tests to save her (other fairy-tale characters - witnesses and guests - help him);
• New Year/Christmas wedding , if the event is planned for the appropriate dates: in the room - a fireplace, a tree and socks for gifts, in the images of the newlyweds - an abundance of red, in the bouquet - fir cones and pine branches.

When choosing the color scheme for your celebration, rely on your own taste or use one of the popular trends today :

• a combination of green (pine branches) with red (balloons, tinsel, berries);
• main white color with silver accents;
• a combination of silver and blue symbolizing winter.

Important! The colors of a winter wedding can be any, but with the ones listed above it is easier to maintain suitable stylistic formats.

Bride style

The dress does not have to be white : a silver model also looks expensive and elegant. In this case, it is important to choose the right tone for accessories (gloves, veil) and shoes. Jewelry made of pearls and white gold will harmoniously fit into the image.

If the bride still decides to opt for the classic white color of the dress, she can think about appliqués in the form of snowflakes and exquisite lace imitating frosty patterns.

A silver fur coat and muff will help complement your winter look - this is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also functionality: no one wants to catch a cold on one of the most important days in their life.

Before going outside, you should definitely wear warm white tights under your dress: no one will see them anyway, but the bride will feel comfortable during a photo shoot in the snow, and not shift from foot to foot and chatter her teeth from the cold. Already at the banquet you can change your boots for shoes, and warm tights for fishnet stockings.

Winter wedding: ideas for a photo shoot in interiors

When planning a wedding in winter, many people dream of taking pictures in nature against the backdrop of snow-white snowdrifts, blue skies and silver trees. But the vicissitudes of the Moscow weather are difficult to predict and your celebration may fall on an extremely frosty or rainy day, there may be no snow at all, and the landscape outside the window may be gray and boring. It is better to think through several options for places for a photo shoot in case of good and bad weather.

If you are planning a wedding celebration in winter, but do not want to freeze, then you can organize a photo shoot indoors. By the way, in Moscow there are more than enough places for wedding photography in cold weather, these are museums, shopping malls, covered bridges, hotels and restaurants, here you can take off warm clothes and feel comfortable in festive outfits.

A photo studio with a beautiful interior can be a good option for a winter photo shoot. There are a lot of different studios in Moscow with interiors suitable for almost any wedding theme.

A separate article is devoted to a review of interesting photo studios for wedding photography on my blog.

Groom image

It is important for a man to follow the same health guidelines as a bride. In a winter look, you can’t do without warm underpants, thermal underwear or an insulated jacket.

When choosing a style, you should focus on your own preferences. It will be interesting to look at a version a la 19th century with a tailcoat instead of a jacket and an elongated black coat. Daredevils and originals can add accessories such as a cane and top hat.

A less eccentric and more versatile option is a warm tweed suit with a bow tie. A special highlight will be a corduroy, velvet tie or woolen scarf.

Bride's bouquet and groom's boutonniere with photo

The bride's bouquet is made in the prevailing colors of the celebration. The boutonniere should be a mini version of the bride's bouquet so that the newlywed couple looks harmonious.

Any flowers with the addition of artificial snow are appropriate. If the wedding is in a rustic or rustic style, a bouquet of fir branches and cones will look great. Bright bunches of rowan and viburnum are suitable for those who like brighter options.

In addition to flowers and branches, you can add knitted details to the bouquet and boutonniere if they resonate with something in the image of the newlyweds.

For a photo shoot, you can take a spare frost-resistant bouquet of crystal flowers. Firstly, such a touch is still rare, and guests will definitely be delighted. Secondly, with a crystal bouquet you can take stunning shots outdoors, but return to the standard version indoors.

Dress code for guests

If your celebration requires a specific dress code, make this known to guests in your winter wedding invitations. Send them in early so that you have time to find outfits.

It will be great if you can prepare boutonnieres for all male guests and small bracelets with flowers/twigs for beautiful ladies, and for the photo shoot everyone can bring scarves and mittens in the same color scheme.

Advice! If you move away from the classic style, you can invite the groom's friends to come in cozy knitted sweaters.

Decor for invitations and place cards

All printing is done in the same color scheme as the wedding itself. At the same time, it is advisable to add to the design of invitations and place cards something that speaks of the coming winter, for example, snowflakes.
Winter wedding invitations with a calligraphic font that imitates handwritten text will hint to guests even before the holiday that something special is coming.

Wedding procession

If you want the walk to the venue to be memorable for you and your guests forever, hire a trio of horses harnessed to a beautiful carriage.

Those who love original solutions can consider renting a sleigh driven by horses or blue-eyed huskies.

If finances allow, and the wedding is on New Year's Eve, you can even rent a sleigh with reindeer , and the newlyweds can dress up in the costumes of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.

Decoration of the banquet hall

When choosing decor for a banquet, follow these recommendations:

1. Don’t skimp on lighting : in winter, electric garlands and multi-colored LED strips are appropriate. Decorate them around the perimeter of walls, windows and front doors to create a festive mood. If you don't like twinkling lights, order standard drapery with balls and fabrics, as is customary for summer weddings, but this option will look less interesting;
2. If you decide to hold an event in a restaurant with an open area, you can light fireworks there at the climax;
3. Light a lot of candles on the tables - this will make the atmosphere special. The flickering of candles will amazingly transform wedding photos;
4. Choose a restaurant that doesn't skimp on tableware. Crystal is the best choice for a winter wedding banquet.

Important! When planning a winter wedding, pay attention to interesting details and findings and feel free to include them in your wishes to the decorators.

Menu ideas

You shouldn’t order a lot of light salads and snacks: they are only suitable in summer. Place appetizer rolls with caviar and red fish on the table. For starters, you can serve exotic soups: surprise, surprise! When choosing a second course, give preference to hearty dishes, pay particular attention to hot dishes. An excellent option is all types of meat: beef kebab, goose, duck, roasted pig.

For dessert, guests will enjoy chocolate fondue and hearty, aromatic pies, and for drinks they will certainly enjoy warming non-alcoholic mulled wine.

Instead of traditional ice cubes, you should serve frozen fruit figurines with alcohol : this will pleasantly surprise your guests.

Cake

An incredibly tall snow-white cake decorated with fragile snowflakes would look ideal. The final touch to the menu at a winter wedding should be such that everyone present simply gasps with delight.

Menu creation

The winter wedding menu is very different from the summer one. There is no place for exotic fruits and summer vegetables here. In the cold season, buffet tables with pies, cheeses, jam and hot tea will come in handy more than ever. When creating a menu, make sure there are a sufficient number of meat dishes. You can order roasted pig, lamb or pork ham with a spectacular presentation. A signature wedding dish, baked pike, is also a good choice.

Entertainment examples

When choosing entertainment, you should start from the given theme.

An example for a winter wedding in the “Winter’s Tale” style: act out the story of the struggle between good and evil in an open area near a restaurant or in the forest (if you rented a mansion). To do this, all guests are divided into two teams and begin a snowball fight. And when good wins (it always wins), the groom launches fabulous fireworks.

If a photo walk in the park before the banquet is planned together with the guests, you can arrange a slide or ice skating.

There are also universal ideas for entertaining those gathered: on the second day, a friendly group can go to the forest on skis or to the mountains to enjoy snowboarding and skiing.

Winter fun

At the holiday you can arrange:

• sledding, skiing or skating;
• snowball fight;
• making snowmen.

To make this day unforgettable, create an interesting scenario. The host of the evening will help you come up with exciting competitions.

An important part of the event is the photo shoot. In winter, you can take stunning photos against the backdrop of falling snowflakes, fluffy snowdrifts, and frost-covered trees. For evening shooting, additional LED lighting is installed.

Photoshoot

If there is snowfall on the day of the celebration, you are just lucky! You will have many amazing shots: how you kiss in the falling snow, how you throw a handful of snowflakes up in your palms and laugh. Trees sprinkled with snow in the background will complement the fabulous atmosphere in the frames.

You can draw a heart in the snow and take a photo next to it, or if you are not afraid of freezing, lie down in the snowdrifts and make snow angels.

Advice! If there are frosty patterns on the restaurant windows, be sure to take atmospheric shots against their background.

During a winter wedding, photos can be taken in almost any location, and they will be winning. If you have the opportunity to go to Central Park before the banquet, do it. Don't bypass the ice slide there, take a ride! You will get bright, emotional shots.

Wander through the ice labyrinth and skate hand-in-hand on the outdoor ice skating rink. Believe me, when you look back at these photos years later, romantic memories will come back to life again and again.

Winter wedding: ideas for an outdoor photo shoot

Photos taken against the backdrop of frosty landscapes are no less interesting than those taken in the warm months. Plus, photo shoots in winter are a lot of fun. In addition, they help to replenish the photo album with completely different photographs, which will depict not only the beautiful bride and groom, but also winter in all its splendor.

Of course, you'll have to freeze a little, but it's worth it: great photos against the backdrop of fluffy snowdrifts of a blue sky with a bunch of clouds - that's your reward. Of course, it’s worth stocking up on hot drinks and warm clothes. You will also need bright accessories that will help you create a great look: voluminous warm scarves, mittens, felt boots, large knitted shawls and sweaters - all this will fit perfectly into the plot of a winter fairy tale.

Wedding walk in winter

Believe me, the result of a winter wedding photo shoot will amaze you! No studio can provide the opportunity to film in nature. If it also snows, the already beautiful pictures will acquire special originality and uniqueness. By the way, if the newlyweds suddenly start to freeze, there is always the option of doing a combined photo shoot: photograph part of the walk in nature, and the other part in a warm room.

When choosing the option of photographing outdoors, do not forget that in winter the days are much shorter and it gets dark much earlier. Therefore, shooting should be planned in the first half of the day, when the lighting allows you to capture what is happening in all its splendor.

Recommendations

If you have firmly decided that you want to say the cherished “Yes!” to each other. on a winter day, be sure to consider the following important points:

1. Even if the weather forecast promises a clear day, you should not trust it 100%. An unpleasant surprise can be a sharp wind and an unexpected thaw. Plan the course of the event in such a way that the vagaries of bad weather cannot significantly affect the organization;
2. Thoughtfully plan when registration starts, what time the photo walk starts, and so on. Winter days are short, so you need to do everything in time. It will be a shame to end up with dark photos simply because you didn't take this feature of the season into account;
3. Solve the issue with the premises for the celebration , find picturesque places for a photo shoot, agree on the menu in the restaurant and choose a sketch of the wedding cake with the confectioners;
4. Think about the style and color scheme of your winter wedding. Select the necessary accessories, order invitations, a bridal bouquet and a boutonniere for the groom;
5. Decide on the outfits of the bride and groom so that they are not only attractive, but also warm during a walk in cold weather.

If you realize that you don’t have time to solve all the problems yourself, hire a professional organizer.

What should the bride and groom wear to a winter wedding?

When choosing a bride's dress, you need to give preference to thick fabrics. Use these options:

• Dresses with long sleeves made of lace materials.
• Dresses with a lot of embroidery.
• Models with fur collar.

The groom should also give preference to clothes made of dense materials. It would be better if there was a three-piece suit. This way the man will be sure that he will not freeze during the photo shoot. If you plan to register outside, the groom can wear a coat in a neutral shade (dark blue or black). It is better to make a boutonniere from cones or spruce branches.

Winter wedding - bride

To make a wedding dress truly winter, it can be decorated not only with a fur coat or a fur cape. For a winter wedding, a muff, hat and boots will be relevant. Wedding dresses with fur trim are considered a winter trend.

Fabrics for winter wedding dresses

In winter, your wedding dress should be appropriate for the season, even after you remove the fur cape. Decor, special fabrics, accessories and decorations will help with this. Wedding dresses decorated with a “frosty pattern” will look especially relevant This appliqué looks impressive on transparent chiffon, embroidered with “icy” threads and complemented with organza petals, which are associated with snowflakes. A snow-white fluffy tulle skirt will give your wedding dress the effect of fluffy snow.

Winter wedding dress length

Of course, in such cold weather, fashion remains with long wedding dresses, but for extravagant and daring brides, you can choose shortened options. train will help to emphasize the solemnity of the event , and the highlight of the wedding look will be lace sleeves and cascading ruffles.

A wedding dress can emphasize the sophistication of the bride, and a winter dress is no exception. A stunning effect is produced by a shimmering wedding dress, which sparkles due to shiny fabric either along the entire length or in specific places of decoration, which can be complemented with pearls, beads or sequins.

Shoes for weddings in winter

• For a walk along the snowy streets, the “winter bride” should buy warm boots, and for the banquet itself a pair of shoes is suitable.
• Shoes must be in harmony with the wedding dress.
